v1.c3.s20.302
Namī Sāpya is the name of a man in the Rigveda.¹ Weber² thinks that he is mentioned as a priest, but the passages suit a king better, and in the Pañcavimśa Brāhmaṇa³ he appears as Namī Sāpya, *Vaideho rājā*, ‘King of Videha.’ In one passage⁴ he is represented as engaged in the contest against Namuci.
